In total, we welcomed around 60 participants, along with an estimated another 60 Rotarians, and\u2014most importantly\u2014many family members, friends, and supporters who came out in full force to cheer everyone on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dragon Boat Rotary Cup was not only a celebration of sport and tradition, but also a reflection of Rotary\u2019s annual focus: Body, Mind, and Soul.&nbsp; Across the day, participants demonstrated determination and teamwork (body), while maintaining focus, calm, and resilience (mind). For everyone involved\u2014on the water and in the stands\u2014the event also strengthened connections, community pride, and shared goodwill (soul).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full coblocks-animate\" data-coblocks-animation=\"fadeIn\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2526.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image002-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2526.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image002-5.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2526.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image002-5-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2526.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image002-5-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2526.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image002-5-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped coblocks-animate wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\" data-coblocks-animation=\"fadeIn\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1269\" height=\"952\" data-id=\"2147\" src=\"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2526.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image003-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2526.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image003-5.jpg 1269w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2526.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image003-5-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2526.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image003-5-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1269px) 100vw, 1269px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1269\" height=\"952\" data-id=\"2146\" src=\"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2526.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image004-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dg-newsletter2526.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image004-5.jpg 1269w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2526.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image004-5-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/dg-newsletter2526.rid3450.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image004-5-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1269px) 100vw, 1269px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A heartfelt thank you to all who helped make the day possible\u2014organizers, volunteers, participants, and supporters.
